Hello everyone,

I’m new to the forum, but it has already been an incredible help in getting my first Hackintosh up and running. I'm really glad I found this community and am excited to be a part of it!

I'm currently looking for guidance on upgrading to or performing a fresh install of macOS Tahoe on my AMD desktop.

My Current Setup:

  • CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3500X 6-Core
  • Motherboard: ASUS TUF B550M
  • GPU: AMD Radeon RX 5500 XT (8 GB, Metal 3)
  • RAM: 16 GB 3200 MHz DDR4
  • Current OS: macOS Sonoma 14.8.9
  • Networking: PCIe Wi-Fi card
When trying to set up a new configuration with the Tahoe image on a pen drive, the Apple logo appears briefly with an error before bouncing back to the OpenCore boot menu.

I would prefer an in-place upgrade option if possible, but a clean installation is fine too. If anyone has tips or a working setup for this, I’d greatly appreciate the help.

(Note: I've attached my currently working EFI/Boot folder below in case it helps anyone else with a similar configuration. Front USB ports aren't working on this one yet, but I figured I'd leave that for future experimenting! 😉)

Thanks in advance!

USB maps need a different format for Tahoe. And you probably should fix your mapping in Sonoma or Sequoia first to get these front ports working.
